Authorities have determined a preliminary cause of death for former Senator Lindsey Graham, according to a new statement released from the late politician’s office. As reported by the Associated Press and various other outlets on Sunday, July 12, Graham died “of aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.” An aortic dissection is also referred to as an aorta rupture, per the Mayo Clinic, which can occur when arteries harden over time.

Devin Williams’ blown save Sunday wasn’t as much on the closer as it was on Francisco Lindor’s ninth-inning error, but Williams was hardly blameless. After struggling for most of his time with the Yankees last season, Williams has been inconsistent — at best — with the Mets and has allowed runs in three of his past four outings heading into the All-Star break. Despite that — and that another former Yankee, Luke Weaver, has been excellent — interim manager Andy Green said Williams isn’t going anywhere and will still be the closer in the second half of the season. Asked…

Lindsey Graham on Sunday, saying the longtime senator pushed back when Netanyahu proposed eventually ending US military aid to Israel. “Because he was so concerned with our security, which he believed was your [America’s] security, that he actually fought the prime minister of Israel on keeping America’s aid or actually increasing it, and that tells you what kind of a person this extraordinary, extraordinary friend was,” Netanyahu recalled on “Fox & Friends Weekend.” The South Carolina Republican dominated headlines Sunday after passing away from a “brief…

Rivals worry that the Dodgers might be underselling their interest in Tarik Skubal. Dodgers people have suggested they have limited interest in Skubal since Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow are working their way back to join their three All-Star starters: Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Justin Wrobleski. However, the Dodgers are not only the best team in the majors, they also boast the top prospect group and spare no expense. Of course, there’s no guarantee with Snell or Glasnow, either. The Braves, Phillies, Cubs or Brewers acquiring Skubal might even things out a bit atop the NL. The Brewers have…

PHILADELPHIA — Mets baseball president David Stearns has maybe his toughest assignment ever now, which is to clean up the mess he’s made. We don’t discount the possibility he can do it, as he helped turn tiny-market Milwaukee into a perennial winner. But it’s going to take a near-perfect summer and winter after two straight disastrous offseasons in which he mostly collected the infirmed and underperforming. “The Mets are a mess,” one major league scout said, succinctly summing up the situation.
